Right off the bat it is a heart wrenching series. From this series, I learned that we should all be more mindful of our mental hygiene and keep track of our mental health, as many people are unaware that they have been victims of emotional abuse.
A girl named “Alex” was raised by a father who had emotionally mistreated her mother for years, leading to her mother's physical illness. Unfortunately, she ended up marrying a man suffering from PTSD.

She ran out from her house with her daughter in the middle of night, wanting to put an end to the anxiety that her husband, an alcoholic, had instilled in her at the start of the series.
Sad to say, the husband filed an emergency injunction to get back sole custody by giving limitation visitation to Alex from court. He hired a fancy lawyer while Alex was struggling for food for her daughter.
The same concept can be applied in Malaysia, there is no law to protect someone under emotional abuse like in the USA. We should be more cautious about emotional abuse in our life.
From 6 till 25 years old, Alex never noticed that her mom had psycho problem till one occasion occurred and her mom ended up in the psycho ward.
She was terrified because she didn't want the same thing to happen to her, and she was afraid that she would inflict that anguish on her own child.
The sad part is that children who are subjected to emotional abuse does not have the ability to fight back and stand up for themselves. When her mother was in the psycho ward, she hoped her husband would turn over a new leaf by showering her with love again.
Alex fell into the trap again and her husband retaliated and stopped her from going out of town to pursue her studies . She realised she had once again become a victim of domestic violence.
The second chance given to her husband resulted in her foregoing the opportunity to continue her studies in university, and she was in despair until someone stood up for her and pushed her to fight back.
What we have learned from this series is that there are many people out there are suffering emotional abuse but the majority of them do not know that he or she is one of the victims.
There are far too many families out there who appear posh on the outside but are filled with wounds and grief on the inside.
I do hope the law can draw a line and write down the responsibilities & duties between all relationships.
Those who are not suited to marry shall not marry anyone in their life.
They shouldn't pass on those wounds from one generation to another.
Lots of love,
